At Blue Mountain Environmental Consulting, we understand the challenges that landowners and managers face with rangeland management. We can provide assistance with National Resource Conservation Services (NRCS) programs and a variety of services to meet the needs of your working landscape.  With decades of experience on rural lands, our roots are in agriculture.

Serving the needs of federal and state agencies, Blue Mountain Environmental Consulting offers rangeland services that can be scaled to fit budgetary constraints and program needs.  Our approach to rangeland management includes rigorous techniques, such as Modified-Whittaker sampling protocol and North American Invasive Plant Mapping Standards. These can be used in conjunction with our GIS capabilities to efficiently characterize ecological resources and summarize project findings in meaningful ways. Our approach creates efficiencies in your management plans and useful information to managers.

Noxious weeds must be managed when they threaten adjoining properties. Non-native invaders replace native vegetation, reduce agricultural productivity, cause wind and water erosion and pose an increased threat to communities from wildfire.

Colorado maintains three lists of invasive species, each with their own treatment requirements. Blue Mountain Environmental Consulting can provide noxious weed inventories, integrated noxious weed management plans that include chemical, cultural, biological and mechanical controls in a manner that economically prioritizes treatment efforts directed towards the most disruptive plants and most easily controlled populations. The Colorado Weed Management Association provides additional education for landowners.
